This is basic we use. Two cans pork and beans;3/4 cup brown sugar.1/2 cup ketchup;six strips of bacon cut in small pieces about 1 inch; tea spoon dry mustard. Mix in bowl that is oven safe. Bake at 350 degrees for 90 minutes. I like to then check frequently and when it get brown spots on top; remove and let cool to thicken.
I can not tell you an exact recipe but here goes..
A bag of Northern Beans, soak them or not Med boil until tender,
Blackstrap Molasses Some brown sugar, dry mustard, onion and a bit of garlic..
I add salt pork and layer the top with Bacon..
I have a recipe from my neighbor, she gave me some to eat and let me tell you I was not gassy at all. This was done in a crockpot.
2 bags dry light red beans ( rinse first) 1 medium onion chopped 1 tbsp. garlic powder 1 cup ketchup 1 small can tomato paste 1/3 cup Worcestershire 1 cup brown sugar (light) 7-8 slices thick cut bacon cut up water to cover the beans, you may need to keep adding during the cooking process pinch salt
This is a great recipe. It was my first attempt at making baked beans from scratch, but certainly not the last! I used Canadian maple syrup instead of molasses, and onion powder instead of onion. I also saved a couple slices of bacon, fried it until crisp, and crumbled it for garnish - very yummy. A loaf of homemade bread fresh from the oven topped off the meal.
I am experimenting today with a leftover crockpot 'teriyaki' sauce that I prepared last night for dinner.
It will be interesting to see how the beans compare with the stove top version of regular beans that I prepare.
So far:
Leftover sauce (soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, cilantro, ketchup, red pepper flakes)
Pinto beans
Enough water to just cover the beans
The beans came out pretty tasty! I did add some more seasonings - salt, chili powder, one bay leaf and added water as needed to keep the beans barely covered.

I have been making these for years for every gathering that I go to where food is involved.
Everyone requests them.
I can't give you exact amounts as I have tweaked the recipe so I will give you my version.
They are delicious.
4 15 oz cans pork and beans with liquid (Phillip's brand makes the most delicious) DO NOT RINSE
1/2 medium green pepper chopped finely (can use more to give more flavor)
1 small to medium onion chopped finely
1/4 (heaping) cup dark brown sugar
1 good glop of mustard
1 good glop of ketchup
Mix together gently as to not tear beans apart. lay 4 slices (or to your taste) bacon on top.
pour into baking dish.
Pour 1/8 cup of water over beans.
Bake at 350 degrees for about 45 min. You can tell by looking if they are ready. May be a little runny looking until they cool but will thicken.
This recipe is delicious but you may find you want to tweak it to your taste once you've tried it several times.
i have this down pat by now and usually use twice as much for large gatherings.
I don't know if you have Phillip's brand pork and beans where you are located but they are a firmer bean and make the best textured baked beans.
Some of the other brands can get a little mushy.
I also have a recipe for Boston Baked beans that are really good. Crock pot style.
Let me know if you'd like me to post that one as well.
